PRESERVING THE DEAD,


Description of the Methods Employed In
Eiectro-PIRting Bodies.
The latest method Of preserving the
dead, and one which is growing into
popular favor. is clectro-p'ating. II 10,
the application Of a perfectly even.
metallic coating 70 the surface of the
body itself by the same process as that
which produces an elecirotype plate.
The method is, briefly. this: The body
is washed with alcohol and sprinkled
with fine graphite powder to insure
the perfect conduction Of electricity.
1t is then placed IN bath of metallic
solution containing piece of metal to
be used; to this is attached the posi-
tive pole of a strong battery; the neg
alive pole is applied to the corpse and
a fine film of the metal at once begins
to cover the body perfectly and evenly
This may be kept up until the coat
ing attains any desired thickness.
To this process there would seem to
be no valid objection. In effect it
transforms the corpse into beautiful
statue-form. feature. and even ex-
preston being perfectly preserved.
The body, being Theoretically sealed
within its metal Enclosure, merely
dries up and assumes the aspect of
mummy. This method obviates many
objections which have been urged
against cremation. and at the same
time meets the wishes Of those whose
sentiment. if nothing else, inclines
them to favor the ordinary way of
burial. The feeling Of dissertation Of
the human form divine which its re-
duction to handful of ashes causes to
many people is entirely done away
with, MS no rude hand is laid upon the
once-loved form. No change is brought
about in appearance except that face
and figure are covered with a shining
vail. through which the familiar Inca
ments appear with all their well-rc-
mcmhered characteristics and expires,

Some of Sedalia's enterprising citi
zens have inaugurated movement to
organize park on the creek south OF
town a few miles and construct a
boulevard to it. The idea is to ex-
tend the suburbs of the city to the
park, and make that part of Sedalia
the place for suburban residences.
Ii is good plan and we hope to see
it consummated. With street car
line running north and south from
the extreme northern limits TO the
park at Flat creek, with another rail.
road or two; which they will have il
the near future, and with the state
capital, Sedalia might put on metro
poIilan airs. WhOop up the park
scheme. 1t will do much to insure
business prosperity, and will attract
to Sedalia men who have capital and
are looking up thriving western city
to settle in. .,
A city that does not show dispo.
sition to progress will be sure TO rel.
rogress before it is aware Of it. The
man who gets real estate in the pro.
posed suburb will soon double his
money.
